Awesome. Can't wait for you.

Dunno why the previous showed as a "quote"

Looks great - a black one will always be faster than a white one though - law of physics!

 

[Martin.]

Looking forward to seeing it at Silverstone!

I've never been there before so will be pottery around probably

 

[sonny172cup]

Coming on nicely mate.

I think it genetic.

 

[mitsiman]

I think it genetic.

Yes - that also!

 

[Tony Hunter]

A big thanks to Jamie, who travelled up to lend me a hand yesterday.
Got the engine out, and found a different (pikey way) to lift the body up off the engine.
Started to drill fixing holes etc into the new engine bay (mind my shiny paint!).
Still loads to be getting on with, it never ending.

Dates given sat/Sunday
No bank holidays in April?

 

[Jamie86]

No Combe

 

[Tony Hunter]

A little more done.
Rear loom is all in, fuel pumps etc. Fiddled around with the pedal box to change it from fbw to cable, what an arse that was.
And yes, the important bit, the engine is in.

So with some luck, it will be running next weekend, then just the cage and panels to put back in and on.

Taking form now Tony

 

[Jay Payne]

Hello everyone............ its been a while


I'm just going to leave this here....

 

[Jay Payne]

 

[Jay Payne]

Thanks to Jamie for the flames video.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thanks for you help yesterday mate, like old times.
Jamie came up today, got loads more done.
Cage in
Exhaust fitted and swapped rear beam.
All stuff that need another pair of hands.
Should be ready by the 15th Feb

 

[Tony Hunter]

As promised, Jamie came up on Sat, and we got more done.
Rear beams swapped over and brake lines done.
Exhaust fitted (as in above vid)
And rollcage all in.
So thanks to Jamie, all the double handed stuff is now done.

Went over for a couple of hours today, just to tidy up some little bit's of wiring and put the fire ex pull cables in.
So a few more bits off the list. :smile:

Thanks for the help guys.:up:

 

[Christopher.]

Great progress

 

[Tony Hunter]

I also have sat here
1 x cup tailgate
2x cup doors
These are going to be crushed next weekend £60 the lot, pick up from Silverstone.

 

[bob the builder]

looking good tony coming on well.
like the fast/ slow switch lets hope its on slow most the time.lol

 

[msa197]

Looking good.

Build coming on very fast!

 

[Tony Hunter]

It's got to Mike, 2 weeks today is the shakedown at Silverstone!

 

[mace¬]

Are you fitting stabilisers this time Mr Hunter?

 

[Jay Payne]

Collision detection/avoidance system would be better

 

[Tony Hunter]

People just got to learn not to mess with me.
Be a lit easier.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Little.!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

So here we are, a week on, and it's 99% done.
Only the sills and tailgate to fit (not sprayed yet). It's been a long 3 weeks and I'm knackered.
If I get chance this week, I'll corner weight it and get the geo done, but if not, tough titty, I'm still going to Silverstone on the 15th.

Moved the brake re to behind the scuttle panel

A bit more done inside

Bonnet on

Roof scoop done, I hate drilling holes in the roof!

Making a cover for swirl pot.

Wheels washed and ready

Finishing touches

The end.
Burp3

 

[Mini182]

Looking good! You have done loads in a short space of time Tony. Making me feel really lazy now!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Set myself a target James, needed to be done as Silverstone booked next Monday, then I've got 10 days to sort any little problems out (hopefully none)
Then on holiday for 2 weeks, the day after we come back, we are off to Snett!!

Rush rush rush.

 

[NorthloopCup]

When and where is your first race Mr Hunter?

Rockingham?

 

[NorthloopCup]

Rockingham?

Ah not so bad then. Might nip over and see how the new burp goes on!

 

[Tomotek]

Looks great Tony!, great job!.. I'll probably come say hi at Snet then, off to watch @chrispy.clio in his first race in the Trackday Trophy (in a Mini JCW)

 

[Cub.]

Top work, looks great.

I bet it was frustrating with the zimmer frame getting in the way all the time.

 

[dmallett]

Just having a little catch up on a few things on here, great to see the new car tony! Looks far to clean though, and also strange it not being a phase 1, good luck this year
